A message and Information from Conor at Challenger Sports
Hey Town of Johnston!
Hope you're all doing well and living the dream! It's Conor here from Challenger. If you don't remember me, I was the super loud coach doing dinosaur impressions on Saturday mornings with the young soccer players! We had an absolute blast, and because it was such a great experience, I'm excited to share that Challenger will be back this Spring to bring more soccer fun to your community!
Check out the video linked on our website to learn more about what we have planned. But to give you the details straight from the source, here’s what you can expect from our program:
Spring Soccer Program Details
Two sessions per week for U4-U9 players, led by professional Challenger coaches.
Monday Night - Training Night
Players will focus on skill development, covering all aspects of the game! Each week will have a different theme, including Passing, Shooting, Dribbling, Receiving, and Fun-Based Games.
Wednesday Night - Game Night
Teams will be randomly selected, and for the entire hour, players will take part in 'in-house' mini scrimmages, ensuring a fun and engaging experience. Each player will have a minimum of three games per night!
All players who participate in our Spring Program will receive an official jersey!
We can't wait to see everyone back on the field for another season of fun and development! Let’s make this Spring session the best one yet
